Hello,
I'm not sure what (besides my incompetence) is to blame, but I can't get
anything but static when I try to play any kind of sound file. CDs play
fine, but anything else is crackle, snap and you know what. I'm pretty close
to the bottom of the learning curve on this, but I have been trying to read
the freakin' manuals so I might understand an explanation of what I should be
looking for. I included the modem above, since they are both in PCI slots
and I suspect this might have something to do with it.
At the risk of putting to many problems in one beg-mail, I have the modem
plugged into PCI3 (the snd card is PCI2), but it will not show up in the
hardware detected list (it is in /proc/pci) and will only work if I select
"ttyS4." At the same time, "ls -l /dev/ttyS2" gives me a blinking red
pointer to a blinking red "tts/2." Maybe if I understood these tty's? I
don't know, and fear any attempt that I make to explain will be inane.
With an advance of thanks,
Jim M.
